WHAT ARE WE DOING! - Hunter Valley NSW

[@shondra6]

The world would be very sad without chocolate yummy. TFS . Welcome to the hunter. 🙏

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

This is true! Thank you

[@Woodydoggydog]

Great to see you guys out and about again. I’m also glad to see you didn’t pay the shameful entrance fees for Hunter Valley Gardens.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh a little out of our budget for what it is. Apparently it is fantastic but would of been wasted on us

[@leemazey9604]

Great video you could probably use a mobile solar panel to add a bit load going into your batteries. I’m not how set it up but im sure where you it from would gladly oblige to give you the information on how to do it.having kids you would probably go through a bit more power.As for your diesel heater maybe give the jets a bit of a clean out may solve the problem Cheers guys and happy and safe travels

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We actually had a portable panel out but it was a very good brand, we have a new one now which is much better! The diesel heater fault was actually the motor itself inside. In the following videos i pull it apart and find the issue and replace the internal motor and its been running great ever since! All a part of the adventure, forever ti kering away on something! Thanks for watching

[@rodneyjones6584]

Home territory.Nice to meet you at the Brisbane Caravan Show today up in with the Feel Good Family.Might see you on the road somewhere 🦐🐟🦈🎣👍

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Cheers buddy was great to meet you too, thanks for saying hi! Yes hopefully catch you up the road somewhere!!

[@Stephfitzi72]

Great episode ❤ love all the info except now I’m craving chocolate 🍫 😊 I find if I hang some damp rid pouches it helps stop the mould 🤞safe travels look forward to the next episode💕💕

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Damp rid pouches are a good idea! Thanks. We don’t tend to stay in cold damp places for long so hasn’t really been an issue before but will stay on top of it

[@outbackadventurefamily]

If you guys are around Central Victoria soon let us know. We have just over 6 acres here for a free stopover. Don't blame you if you're not though, its just as cold here. Just installed our diesel heater they are great.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks guys! Might get there one day. We are back up in Qld now, even though ive fixed the diesel heater 😅 im not in as much trouble now

[@kiaoraable]

Even though it’s cold in the mornings and evening at least you don’t have the flies, or heaps of people but when it’s summer oh boy the flies are shocking. I use to live in Cessnock and Bell. Cheers Judy

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Flies? Really?? I wouldn’t have expected that at all, we did get lucky with the day time temps and it was very quiet! So worked out well for us, if only that heater was working

[@kiaoraable]

Yeah not nice in cold weather in our vans with no heater. Hopefully it's a easy fix without needing a new one. Cheers 😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@kiaoraable a new part has just arrived so il be fixing it tomorrow hopefully

[@kiaoraable]

@@Ourwhittleadventure yahoooooo:}

[@kerrimeier6573]

Great Episode guys ❤we're heading to Hunter in 4 weeks ❄️❄️❄️ where are you staying cheers have a great week

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Ooh forgot to add that in we apologise. We stayed at Cessnock showgrounds unpowered for $20 or $25 for water and power

[@WaltersWobblebox]

Hi guys some friends of ours had issues with there heater, he worked out they had a bend downwards in there exhaust ,straightened it out and it works perfectly now

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Ah nice that was an easy fix for them. Ours was the motor, have replaced it now and its back to working a treat

[@suzannecrosdale2629]

Great place and so much to do.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yes would love to come back without the kids and do a tour or something! Is a beautiful area

[@davekerr8133]

What a beautiful area. What out Liam, Dad will have you packing the wheel bearings next. Solar panels are just the start. 😅 Don't put chocolate in front of me. I'm a real guts when it comes to chokky. 😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha i didnt get a photo but he helped me pack some bearings a couple of months ago actually!

[@reba2971]

Hunter valley: Nothing like lovin' like marrying ya cousin 😅

[@richardfairweather2412]

Hi guys. We were in Pokolbin last week. Hunter Belle cheese do $5 tasting per person. Amazing. Have fun.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Oh that would of been better value for us! Thanks

[@Gypsy-gypsy-ys3ju]

I don't think you missed out on much at that cheese shop. We spent heaps there and I didn't like what we bought anyway 😆

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@Gypsy-gypsy-ys3ju oh such a shame!

[@livingtotravel4290]

We were in the Hunter last weekend so just missed you. So much to do and not enough time to do it.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh is such a beautiful area, would like to come back without the kids one day, bit of a date weekend or something

[@livingtotravel4290]

@@Ourwhittleadventure would definitely suggest doing with some friends and booking a driver. We did 5 wineries 2 distilleries and a brewery. In the end that was too many but it was great to have someone else drive.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yes! Weve done that in thr Margaret River region and loved it! Definitely the way to do it

[@kellygalea9697]

Valley brewhouse is awesome, My daughter is getting married there in October 2025

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Oh a great venue for that!!

[@fionareynolds1560]

Best chocolate place. Cocoa nib.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Will have to remember that for next time! Thanks

[@brianwhiting335]

Put a bottle of kerosene in your Diesel heater fuel tank then fill it . Might need alpine fuel as ordinary fuel will wax up in the cold. Works for us as we live in cold country.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks buddy, it ignited fine but the motor would stop spinning. I pull it apart in next episode and find the issue. New part arrived yesterday do hopefully i have it sorted tomorrow 🤞🏻

[@Elizabeth-k5u2v]

Hi guys. What pans etc. do you have when cooking a roast in the Ziggy?

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We just use the Mint oven pan from woolworths with the slightly larger roasting rack that overhangs but works

[@ouroz_adventures]

Avoid NSW in winter 😂. Hunter and NSW are great in Spring. We always stay at the Cess showground when we go to the Hunter🤙

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thats where we were, was a great spot. Yes spring time would be much better thats for sure!

[@Accolades70]

Great Vid...

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Cheers mate

[@99bevo]

unfortunately on a tight budget when raising a young family the Hunter valley wine region an expense that's a little over the top the Hunter valley garden's Christmas light display over the Christmas season is something to see however visiting the gardens unless you are very much a tree hugging flower lover unfortunately is not value for money in my opinion anyway .. having such a young family can seem a difficult task at time's when trying to experience caravan holiday adventures but it all about finding the locations as your children age first its about sea adventures rock pools with star fish ,bird centuries & wildlife Parks,then comes stage 2 when they are old enough to enjoy besches theme parks & amusement Parks , then comes the teenage years when they don't want to be around you 24/7 because they feel your cramping their stye this is when you start to get your lives back if you can trust they will stick to your guidelines & you give them a little freedom while holidaying & you & your partner can enjoy a moment of peace with a freinds you meet at bingo nights yippee lots to look forward to hey lol .. No enjoy the moments with your children while you can because before you know it they are all grown up trying to make you babysit the grandkids ... be strong at this point just say.. i love my grandkids but it's our time to enjoy nights out & your time to be a responsible parent lol ... that's the most rewarding thing ever

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha yes very well said, we are still very early days and as much as an amusement cark is, he has just as much fun at a playground or in a shallow creek. Weve seen the Hunter now, we hope to return one day a little less restricted but we had fun regardless. Thanks for watching
